Dear applicant
Freedom of Information Request No. FOI 150-2025
Acknowledgement of request
I refer to your request dated
12 July 2024 under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (
FOI
Act) in which you seek access to documents in the possession of the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission (
ASIC).
Your request states the following:
“1. A copy of the CDDA authorisation by the Minister that was in place until it purportedly
lapsed in 2015 2. A copy of any correspondence, subsequent to the lapsing, from ASIC to the
relevant Minister (incl their office) where ASIC agitates to be re-authorised for CDDA 3. A
copy of any correspondence that is a reply to the correspondence in [2]
Final versions only
Duplicates excluded
SES or equivalent personal information included (incl a/SES)
Email domains included
All first names included”
As your request was received on
12 July 2024 and the 30-day statutory period for processing
the request commenced on the day after the date of receipt, you should therefore expect a
decision to be made by
12 August 2024.
The 30-day processing period may be extended should ASIC find it is necessary to consult
third parties, where a charge is to be imposed on the processing of the request or for other
reasons. You will be advised if there are changes to the 30-day processing period.
Please note that any documents released to you under the FOI Act may later be
published online on the ASIC disclosure log in accordance with our obligation to do so under
the Act. This requirement to publish released documents is subject to certain exceptions for
example, personal or business information will not be published where it would be
unreasonable.
Should you have any questions about your Freedom of Information request, you may
contact me by email at
xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx.xx.

Yours sincerely
